Gore Verbinski Wiki Biography

Gregor “Gore” Verbinski is a Polish American screenwriter, film director, musician, music video director and film producer with a huge amount of net worth valued at $110 million. That’s why today he is one of the richest celebrities involved in show business. His most notable works are “Pirates of the Caribbean” as Verbinski directed three films in this series. Moreover, he is known for audiences as the famous horror movie “The Ring” director. One of his recent successful works is a computer-animated action and comedy film for the familyen titled “Rango”, which was released in 2011.

Gregor Verbinski was born on March 16, 1964, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, US. The father of Gregor, Victor Verbinski, is from Poland, and that’s why Verbinski’s surname is so unusual in comparison with other celebrities. Gregor Verbinski in his early years didn’t plan to become a film director and increase his net worth  like this, and he was even a member of different local rock bands, but soon he decided to choose another way to earn a living. So after playing in bands, such as “The Cylon Boys Choir”, “Bulldozer”, “The Drivers” and “Daredevils”, he made his debut in the movie industry in 1996, when he created “The Ritual”. Before that he directed music videos for some bands, such as “NOFX”, “Bad Religion”, “Monster Magnet”, “24-7”, “Spyz” and some others. However, his first work in the cinematography didn’t raise Gore’s net worth really much, but he didn’t stop and one year later “Mouse Hunt” appeared on screens. This comedy film became a little more successful, as this movie starred such great actors as Adam Rifkin and Nathan Lane.

His next really notable work, “The Ring”, was released in 2002. Thanks to this great movie Verbinski received Saturn Awards in the best horror movie category, also MTV Movie Awards for the best movie and the best villain in a movie and even a Teen Choice Awards for the best horror movie released in 2002. This success increased Verbinski’s net worth, so he didn’t stop his activity and since thenhas  released many other notable movies. The famous “Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” directed by him even received five Oscar nominations, but didn’t win a single one. However, “Rango”, which was released in 2011, received an Oscar, and that’s how the net worth of Gregor Verbinski got bigger again. However, it wasn’t even a big surprise, as everyone knew that Gregor Verbinski creates great films, and furthermore Johnny Depp was the one who voiced characters of the film.

TodayVerbinski is considered to be not only one of the richest directors with a great  net worth, but he is also one of the greatest talents in the world of show business. He continues making movies with Johnny Depp, which is a sure sign of future success.

Gore Verbinski Quotes

• I think “The Weather Man” is one of my favorite experiences just because when you work on a film that costs a lot less money you get to say, ‘Hey, this movie isn’t for you, and it’s not for you either. And it’s okay that you don’t like it.’ Because you don’t spend $100 million and you don’t need everybody to like your movie. And I think that’s incredibly liberating. People talk about four quadrant movies all the time but those used to be accidents, like, ‘Wow 12-year-olds are going and 26-year-olds are going!’ Now it’s an algorithm.
• Naomi’s great. She’s completely dedicated to her performance and not to her image. That process allows her to become Rachel in this movie and go to some darker areas that I think a lot of actors wouldn’t feel comfortable doing. — on Naomi Watts and her performance in “The Ring”
• I like horror movies and in fact I like them even more now after making one. I just think they’re much more liberating because you don’t really have to apply a very strict logic. You can experiment a lot more with sound and image. — on making a horror film
• [on The Ring (2002)] We set the film in Seattle and we focused on creating this dark, sombre mood, a kind of coldness. And I felt I wanted to go with this kind of dream logic and focus on just a few main characters. So, in a way, it’s quite clinical.
• I think that horror movies work best when they deal with some kind of contemporary issue. The thing I responded to with this movie was [the] actual moral ambiguity of the film, which is this kind of transferable nature of hatred. That you can hurt me and then I can find it justifiable to hurt somebody else, that I can transfer that. And that seems to be a very contemporary issue. And the idea that you can play a tape and die and be like, “I didn’t do anything, why is it me? And there’s a kind of powerless nature to that that I think is contemporary terror. And I think that that is something that’s universal. — on why the horror genre remains popular
• That opening is right out of the original movie, and it’s kind of a problem and a solution, I think. When I first watched the movie, I thought, oh, boy. This movie really takes a tonal shift from straight-up teenage horror movie to kind of a more serious movie about a journalist. And the more I thought about it, the more I thought that’s what’s wonderful about the perspective in the original. It kind of sets up the promise and almost comments on the genre right off the bat, and it gets rid of all the exposition in that genre, and then we’re able to move on. So I grew from being nervous about it to actually trying celebrating it and enjoy it. — on the opening scene of “The Ring”
• We didn’t want to play to the sort of noir aspects of the genre. The language of horror is so steeped in clichés because it’s just been reinvented so many times it’s hard to set a shot and not feel like it’s a shot that’s in someone else’s movie when you’re making a horror film. So you kind of have to celebrate that but at the same time try to reinvent it where you can. [Cinematographer Bojan Bazelli] and I discussed the removal of shadows to try to keep the characters feeling like they’re floating a little bit, in space. I find films like The Tenant, where there’s a kind of nauseousness you get in the process of the movie, and a lot of that comes from the composition. In this case, we really emphasized lighting and the oppressive nature of the softer light, overcast skies and rain. It’s not a movie that evolves into the light, it’s a movie that ends where it begins. — on trying to be original without ignoring genre conventions with “The Ring”
• Watching these images, how do they affect you? That was important to me. The tape is something that is promised throughout the movie, so I felt it was important that there was enough there that resonated. And yet, in our movie, they have to also serve as clues. So we had the burden of just creating something that felt abstract but then also had to work in a concrete fashion and also had to be justifiable from the story about the child. The tape had to sort of function on three levels. It had to be disturbing on its own, and it had to provide a series of clues, and then it had to also have some resonance to the author … in the movie. I just started with images that I found horrific, and then we built the tape long and kept reducing and reducing and tried to avoid the temptation to make it narrative. It’s amazing how when images fall together how quickly they start to tell a story even when you’re trying not to. — on the videotape in “The Ring”
• I think there’s a lot of trying to keep what did work well, and I think as a director there’s two answers to that question. One is, as a director, I wish I could make a movie once and then look at it and make it again. It’s really nice to have Hideo Nakata’s template. We talked about the movie. When I saw it, there were particular things I really enjoyed about it and things that I wanted to change. I think every director wants to change a movie after they’ve finished it. In terms of the popularity of the movie, I think it’s inevitable to get persecuted for remaking a film that people love. I think there’s pride of ownership. I felt that Wages of Fear is a great movie and I despised the remake, so I know what that’s like. I kind of expect that, but we still had a great time making the movie, and it’s a great story. — on the challenges of making “The Ring”
• There were discussions very early on, because I think there’s always a temptation for marquee value when you’re making a movie, and movies cost money. But the star of this movie is the concept of this movie. … I think Naomi is a great choice, because there isn’t a lot of audience expectation for the plot. In movies in general, but horror movies in particular, you suffer if you’re able to watch them from a more comfortable place. I think there’s comfort in somebody you recognize and somebody you can distill and categorize into a character. And I think that that process of not immediately liking a character in a film, but slowly coming to terms with that character throughout the story, creates a proximity for the audience. If you achieve that, then you’re able to access a different part of the brain. So horror movies are stories and psychological experiments at the same time. — on casting Naomi Watts in “The Ring”
• They just sent me the tape – a really bad-quality tape, which was horrifying. I don’t know if you’ve seen the original movie, but I loved it. And that tape came with the offer. — on how “The Ring” came to him
• I just tried to keep what’s great in the original movie and improve it where I could. — on remaking “Ringu” with “The Ring”
• I think when you remake a movie you try not to mess it up. I think the original movie worked really well in certain places and there’s part of it that’s different. We’re not dealing with the ESP aspect to the original movie or the volcano. Choices were made in this case to emphasize the more viral aspects of the tape. I think it’s very important for me to try not to take away from what worked well in the original movie. … There’s something wonderful about an outside perspective on the horror genre, which has a real history in American cinema. And I think there was a wonderful minimalism to the original movie that I felt was very important to keep. — on remaking “Ringu” with “The Ring”
